摘要:
Methods are described for operating a two-stroke cycle, compression-ignition, opposed-piston engine using a self-igniting, low reactivity fuel which manages trapped temperature and trapped combustion residue within the combustion chambers of the engine, thereby ensuring fuel ignition timed to avoid misfires at low loads and pre-ignition (knocks) at high loads.
摘要:
A method includes operating an air boosting apparatus of a two-stroke, opposed piston engine as a function of one or more factors including a first engine speed, a first torque, demand, a first altitude, a first transient rate, and one or more first ambient conditions to provide a first pressure S ratio (PR} of pre-turbine pressure (PTP) versus turbocharger compressor discharge pressure (CDP} and a first air-to-fuel ratio (AFR).

A rocking journal bearing is provided in a piston coupling mechanism. The bearing includes a sleeve and a wristpin constructed with two sets of eccentrically-disposed bearing surfaces which alternate in accepting a compressive load during an operational cycle of the bearing. The sleeve includes a network of grooves to transport oil to the bearing surfaces. Lubricating oil flow through the bearing is minimized by limiting provision of pressurized oil from the wristpin to the network of grooves to portions of the cycle when one or the other of the sets of bearing surfaces receives the compressive load.

A system according to the present disclosure controls first and second fuel injectors to inject fuel into a cylinder of an engine based on a measured crankshaft position. The system controls the first and second fuel injectors based on a first target injection parameter once every N firing cycles of the cylinder, where N is equal to the number of fuel injectors that are operable to inject fuel into the cylinder. The first target injection parameter includes at least one of a first pulse width and a first start-of-injection (SOI) timing. The system controls the first and second fuel injectors based on a second target injection parameter once every N firing cycles of the cylinder. The second target injection parameter includes at least one of a second pulse width and a second SOI timing that are different than the first pulse width and the first SOI timing, respectively.
摘要:
An engine assembly including a cylinder wall extending about a cylinder bore is disclosed. A piston slidingly received within the cylinder bore includes a ring groove extending about the piston in a ring plane that is transverse to a longitudinal axis of the cylinder bore. A piston ring is received in the ring groove of the piston. A port extends through the cylinder wall to communicate fluid to or from the cylinder bore. The port has an oblique geometry relative to the ring plane and a plurality of windows that extend at least partially about the cylinder bore in a path that is transverse to the ring plane. The oblique geometry of the port staggers entry and exit of the piston ring relative to the plurality of windows as the piston reciprocates within the cylinder bore. This helps prevent the piston ring from clipping the port.
